Basic moral issues aside, I can’t understand how intelligent people would vote for Mr. Obama again. He promised to cut the deficit in half (he’s doubled it). He promised 5.4% unemployment (it’s 7.8 and that’s generous due to the huge number of people that have dropped out of the workforce or have been off work so long they are no longer eligible for benefits.).
Gas prices have gone from $1.85 to over $4.00 a gallon. My personal health insurance cost has gone up just under $2000/year since he took office. He boasts that he’s created five million jobs but fails to mention the five+ million that have been lost.
Based on the economic state of our country, and the dismal job market alone, he should not get a second chance. His poor record speaks for itself. At least Mr. Romney has a track record of success in the private sector, in running the Olympics with a balanced budget and with prosperity and a balanced budget as Governor of Massachusetts.
Romney has vision to help our economy, Obama has excuses and rhetoric.
I don’t think there has been a more important Presidential election in the last century, perhaps ever. Please vote wisely and with our country’s best interest in mind.
